Did you know you can play RPGs all by yourself? Cat McDonald (she/they) of Peach Garden Games joins us to talk solo RPGs, mental health, suicide prevention, and accessibility. We even make a character for WONDERFALL, one of the games in the Solo But Not Alone 3 bundle that’s raising funds for Jasper’s Game Day! You can purchase the bundle yourself through March 28, 2023.
